Expansion of Common Effluent Treatment Plant (9 MLD) Bhiwadi, Dist. ,

Executive Summary

1. Introduction of the Project/ Background Information

The Common effluent treatment plant (CETP) which is operated by Bhiwadi Jal Pradushan Niwaran Trust (BJPNT) was initially operated by RIICO Ltd. It worked as Effluent Disposal System (EDS) and in the due course of time was modified to the present condition of CETP. This CETP was installed to treat industrial effluent of RIICO Ind. Area Bhiwadi but presently this CETP is treating industrial waste water along with domestic waste water of some villages located in Industrial area as there is no separate conveyance system for these different types of waste water.

The CETP which was assumed to receive a maximum of 09 MLD of waste water is now receiving an average of 11 MLD. This quantum jump in the quantity is the result of rapid industrialization and addition of domestic waste water. The total waste water discharged from RIICO I/A. Bhiwadi is being treated and pumped to the final destination by CETP Bhiwadi which is being operated by M/s. Bhiwadi Jal Pradushan Niwaran Trust (BJPNT) and the cost for treatment is finally born by the Industrial units.

The CETP is located 0.16 km from Road and 0.35 km from Bhiwadi Bus Stand away from the project site.

3.3 Details of alternate sites

The up-gradation of existing 6 MLD to 9 MLD CETP taking place within the existing plant boundary therefore no alternate site is selected.

Existing Process Description:

Effluents will be screened before being fed into the downstream treatment units. After primary treatment the wastewater will be taken into the parallel SBR basins for biological degradation of organics. The following treatment steps shall be used:

Treatment Steps:

1. Primary Units

Mechanical Fine bar screen

Grit removal

Free Oil Removal

Equalization tank

Pharshall flume

2. Biological Treatment

Sequential batch reactor

3. Sludge Handling and Dewatering

Primary Treatment Units

Screens

The effluents will be screened to remove floating particles, rags, leaves, bags and large suspended particles using coarse 20 mm manual screens.

Grit removal mechanism

3 Bhiwadi Jal Pradushan Niwaran Trust

Expansion of Common Effluent Treatment Plant (9 MLD) Bhiwadi, Dist. Alwar, Rajasthan

Inorganic particles like sand and silt will be removed in Grit removal tanks. The Grit removal tank is equipped with a raking mechanism to separate the settled particles. These fines will be washed in an organic wash chamber and disposed off suitably using a conveyor belt system. 75 – 80% of all silt particles larger than 150 micron will be removed here, to ensure that they do not accumulate in any of the downstream units, pipes and channels.

Free Oil Removal

Free oil removal shall be carried out in oil removal tank. The oil removal tank has been designed for suitable detention time, thus allowing the free oil to float to the surface. The oil thus collected shall be removed from the top using slotted pipe type oil removal mechanism and will be disposed off. The clear water will under the baffle in to the outlet chamber from where it will gravitate to downstream units.

Flow Measurement

The effluents will be then passed through Parshall Flume to measure the incoming flow to the CETP.

Equalization

After flow measurement, the effluents will be then collected into equalization tank made up of two compartments, each with holding capacity of 2 hrs and equipped with coarse bubble grid and blower assembly. Here, the collected effluents will be mixed thoroughly to ensure uniform flow and characteristics to the downstream units. The equalized effluents will be then pumped to downstream Sludge Blanket Clarifier for primary clarification.

Primary Clarification in Sludge Blanket Clarifier

Equalized Effluents will be than pumped into Sludge Blanket Clarifier for removal of suspended solids, which also reduces the organic loads associated to suspended impurities. The Sludge Blanket Clarifier unit has an inbuilt flash mixer (draft tube) and flocculator and does not require additional units. Inside a high re circulation rate of settled solids is maintained. This seeds the incoming effluent and reduces the reaction time for floc formation. Further, as the concentration of suspended solids is very high in the inner flocculator tube, any fluctuations in the feed quality with respect to suspended solids does not deteriorate the performance of Sludge Blanket Clarifier. This high re circulation rate of settled solids provide higher floc concentration for this process to occur. Also, sludge is thickened to a high concentration as a result of which 3 – 4%

Expansion of Common Effluent Treatment Plant (9 MLD) Bhiwadi, Dist. Alwar, Rajasthan consistency sludge is withdrawn from the Sludge Blanket Clarifier under flow. This prevents the need of any further thickening unit and the sludge can be directly taken to the sludge dewatering unit. The above process also allows the Sludge Blanket Clarifier to be more compact and consume 10-15% lower chemicals as compared to conventional clarifiers/Clariflocculator.

Biological Treatment Units Comprising Cyclic Activated Sludge Process

Incoming flow to SBR basin is from the inlet work. Influent is routed to pre-reacted chamber of SBR. Under normal conditions basin receive flow throughout the cycle. At the opposite end of basin, effluent is removed through decanters discharging via an internal collector pipe. Aeration is provided via fine bubble membrane diffusers on the floor of the SBR basin.

 SBR basin is equipped with the following.  Decanter Actuator  Surplus activated sludge (SAS) pump  Air inlet valve  Ultrasonic level transmitter  High level float switch  Dissolved oxygen transmitter 

Additionally the following common equipment is provided:

 3 numbers of aeration blowers

SBR Cycles

The SBR cycle for SBR basin comprises a react phase, a settle phase and a decant phase. The SBR basin operates in a phased sequence.

4.5 Social Infrastructure available

Socioeconomic environment will not be affected due to no influx of outside people as the number of workers will be only 100 and local people will be selected for most of the posts. In addition, large number of secondary job opportunities will be created due to installation of CETP. Socioeconomic conditions of the local people will be improved. There will be improvement in the infrastructural facilities. Aesthetic and hygienic environment will be created which will be helpful in maintaining good public health with reduction in water borne diseases in the surrounding environment.

Other benefits will be further growth in industrial development, and improvement in occupational health & skills and improvement in sanitation. The analysis by matrix representation indicates that the overall impact is beneficial.

5.0 Proposed Infrastructure

5.1 Industrial area (processing area)

Being an existing CETP, adequate infrastructural facilities are already available. Modernization unit will make use of the existing facilities for land, storage of raw material and handling, additional water & power demand, and use of road and rail network for transportation of raw materials and finished products.

5.2 Green Belt

Tree Plantation is one of the effective remedial measures of control the air pollution and noise pollution. It is also causes aesthetic climatologically improvement of the area as well as sustain and supports the biosphere. It is an established fact that trees and vegetation act as a vast natural sink for the gaseous as well as particulate air pollutants due to enormous surface area of leaves. It is also helps to attenuate the ambient noise level.

In green belt area about 200 trees per acre of land is recommended to give a thick green cover around the CETP (about total 600 plantation). BJPNT is planning to develop green belt around the CETP premises.
